Why dont you jusy make one crank spin three or four spinners instead of wasting power
Curtis!!! We need an update please 🙂
Would it not be easier to have a micro-green farm and do that part time ?
Less machinery, less time bending over for your back, and you can work at it every day at home for an hour or two either before going to work, or coming back from work.
How do u package the salads and stuff like were do u buy them or do u make em
what seeds do you use for your greens?
You guys serve as an inspiration…Flying to Canada from India to start a Organic farm in BC this year. Looking forward for your workshop.
Scott is handsome heheh 😉
Is it me or does the lettuce and other greens seem like it is very labor intensive? I guess you make more $$ selling more product that grows faster, vs maybe a cucumber, or something, but gosh…EDIT – didn't realize he had that cool little harvester! Although, I might want to mount it on something with wheels so you don't have to hunch over while walking along the beds?
Stick to that budget, damn right!
Organic, no–till mini-farming in permanent beds, with permanent paths, using hand tools/power hand tools, takes little funds, increases yields 50 to 100%, reduces labor by 50 to 75%, reduces input/expenses to nearly 0 [seed only], creates healthy soil with high fertility, stops soil compaction, soil erosion, rain water runoff and eliminates most weed, disease and insect problems.

Amazing as always! You have inspired this 16yo teenager to start his own farm and to do something more with his time, thank you so much.
I enjoy doing a garden and sharing as much as I can with other people. God has been so good to me. Thanks for sharing the videos. I endured several difficulty’s. I learned not to plant cabbage next to my corn. This created a worm fest on my corn. I managed to work through it and it looks like I’m still gonna have nice ears of corn.
Wow thats hard work guys. Much respect
10:24 Oh yea, I know that one.
Salatin was right, growing the stuff is the easy part.
Curtis, can you talk about the bar codes? Thanks!
I have a question maybe you have already answered in another video. but is it better to just start growing then find your customer base or find customers and try and meet theyr needs after the fact? this is my absolute passion to make this a living. I rack my brain every night and dream about farming for a living. I have to make this work
That guy look like Rhett's from Good Mythical Morning's long lost son.
I'm here in Anacortes WA so similar weather but maybe a little dryer, maybe you could form a co-op to buy things like a paper planter, it's not something you use every day so if you could share it between maybe 4 farms, same with other expensive equip like the BCS
You can only barely scratch out a living as a farmer. You have to have a career as well. Even California farms,yeah,the gigantic ones,barely eke out a living. Think about this…..i was informed by a dairy farmer that they only get paid 78 cents a gallon for milk……
Very informative.
Hi. My advice to you is try not to pass up the small restaurant's, you never know who they know, word of mouth is hugh in this business. Plus your a small operation also and small operations depend on each other. Just a thought. Take care. Hawk out!!
how did you just add a bar-code to your product ???????????????????
Scott looks way better with a beard lol
I swear the universe is sending me all the information I need to be a successful farmer.
I'm betting your wife asks you a gardening question just before bed so you can drone on and on and on it's just like counting sheep. I do the same thing with my hubby I ask him a computer question… puts me to sleep every time.
Scott went kaput
Were there any follow-ups to this??
I loved the content. Just recently decided I want this for my life. My wife and I are making our plan and going to work it. Gonna start part time. This video was very informative. Thanks. And great job.
How did you do the barcodes? How do you know what to put on them and who prints them?
I've really enjoyed following your videos, but this was the one where I asked myself, "Why haven't I subscribed?" So, I pressed that button.
Because of his scale, you've been able to provide a lot of absolutely terrific information for aspiring farmers here. I especially liked the part where you were inspired by the manpower and time limitations and asked: what are your most important three pieces of equipment? I thought, virtually every urban homeowner can benefit from this great information!
I didn't fully understand the starters discussion, because I couldn't understand if he has space and is proposing starts on-site or if there is some commercial alternative. That little bit of "we both know what we're talking about," for the reasons I indicated, my background didn't allow me to follow completely.
Thanks so much for these great videos!
